Food Friday

While Giada (as in the Food Networks Giada De Laurentiis for those of you that are not on a first name basis with her like I am!ha!) does drive me a little batty with her authentic pronounciation of all thinks Italian/American like spaghetti, mozzerella, and the like, she can make a mean orzo salad. I made this for the Springsteen concert tailgate and the kids have been eating up some of the extras! Great for Spring!

DirectionsPour the broth into a heavy large saucepan. Cover the pan and bring the broth to a boil over high heat. Stir in the orzo. Cover partially and cook until the orzo is tender but still firm to the bite, stirring frequently, about 7 minutes. Drain the orzo through a strainer. Transfer the orzo to a large wide bowl and toss until the orzo cools slightly. Set aside to cool completely.Toss the orzo with the beans, tomatoes, onion, basil, mint, and enough vinaigrette to coat. Season the salad, to taste, with salt and pepper, and serve at room temperature.

About Me

Ramblings of a thirty-ish, married mother of two boys (3yr and 9mo) whose memory (and maybe sanity) was checked at the hospital post the birth of her first son. My hope is that this blog will help me and my boys remember life as we know it in Crazyville!
